López, F. J. Castillo, M. A. Fernández, A. Clavel, M. C. Rubio, R. Gómez-Lus, B. Cutillas]  The incidence of astrovirus infection in children less than 10 years of age with gastroenteritis in the city of Zaragoza, Spain, was analysed during a 12-month period. A total of 718 stool samples obtained from 534 children were examined. In 401 samples no routinely searched for pathogenic organism was detected; these specimens were then tested for the presence of astrovirus antigens. Astrovirus was detected in the samples of 15 (5.5%) patients, a detection rate similar to that recognised for Yersinia enterocolitica and Cryptosporidium spp. All children with confirmed astrovirus infection had diarrhoea (median duration, 9 days), 11 experienced loss of appetite, 5 vomiting, and 4 fever. The incidence of astrovirus infection reported here indicates that Spanish children suffering from gastroenteritis should be routinely screened for the presence of astrovirus.
